Arsenal vs Man Utd LIVE SCORE: FA Cup third round clash on NOW as Gabriel Jesus is STRETCHERED OFF – latest updates

From Jordan Davies at the Emirates

Arsenal surely now must spend some cash in this market to bring in a wide forward with Gabriel Jesus’ injury looking a bad one as he was carried off on a stretcher.

And with Raheem Sterling on – only just back from injury himself – Mikel Arteta has now tried FIVE different players to fill in for the stricken Bukayo Saka on the right wing (Martinelli, Trossard, Nwaneri, Jesus, Sterling – and two of those are injured!).

First half facts and figures

From Charlie Wyett at the Emirates

United, after being outplayed at the start, have really grown into this game and you can see why Bruno Fernandes was angry with ref Andy Madley for not awarding a foul after the challenge from Gabriel Jesus. 

Fernandes was cautioned for throwing his boot on the floor in disgust and he must try and avoid a red card. Yet another one

Half-time – Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

Tie of the third round, yeah? Nah.

It’s goalless at the break at the Emirats, and other than a Gabriel Martinelli goal that was rightly disallowed, very, very little has happened.

It can only get better in the second half. And if it doesn’t, there’s no way it can get worse.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

45+5. Odegaard has now sat down on the turf and he doesn’t look comfortable at all.

Mikel Arteta has his hands on his heads, he can’t believe he’s facing another injury and to such a key player too.

The Arsenal captain is told there are just seconds left until the break, and he’ll hobble through until then.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

45+4. Odegaard grimaced as he jogged back into position after that free-kick.

Surely that’s dissatisfaction with his effort, and not another injury.

Surely.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

45+3. Odegaard goes for goal with the free-kick.

His left-footed curler sails over the wall, but also the crossbar.

The Gunners are still to work Bayindir in the United goal.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

45+1. Inside five minutes of stoppage time, and Martinez has presented Arsenal with a free-kick 28 yards out after kicking Odegaard across the calf.

The defender is on a booking, remember. Actually, I should probably be telling him that.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

44. Excellent defending from De Ligt repels a threatening Martinelli attack down the left.

The Dutchman appears to be finally settling into life in English football after some rude beginnings.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

42. Immediately, Sterling is booed by the travelling support.

It hasn’t happened for him yet at the Emirates, but he could really win over the Arsenal fans today with a big performance.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

40. Sure enough, Gabriel Jesus’ game is over – and it looks a bad one as he leaves on a stretcher. The Brazilian joins a growing Arsenal injury list.

On in his place is the former Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

39. Replays show that Jesus definitely caught Fernandes on the ankle, although more as a result of a slip than a cynical challenge.

The bad news for the Arsenal forward is that he appears to have injured himself in making contact with his opponent, and has stayed down inside his own box.

He’s having treatment, but I don’t think he’s going to be able to continue.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

37. United break again on the left from where they tee up Bruno Fernandes on the edge of the box, who is clearly fouled from behind by Gabriel Jesus.

But no! Andy Madley says no free-kick, and the Manchester United captain is absolutely furious as a result.

With his boot half off as a result of the challenge, Fernandes removes it and hurls it to the turf in frustration.

In fact, he does that not once, but twice – and the second time it draws the attention of the referee, who books him for dissent.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

35. Arsenal commit extra men forward as the the front three interchange…

…but instead that’s the signal for United to hit them on the counter.

In a matter of seconds, the visitors are back down the other end of the pitch from where Garnacho hammers a cross-shot at Raya.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

33. It’s not been a great contest so far.

I’m not saying that nothing has happened but the BBC’s half-time analysis may include footage of David Raya losing a contact lens.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

31. Jesus is back up after treatment, and Arsenal have another set-piece to launch into the 18-yard box.

This time it’s a free-kick midway inside the United half, and that’s the cue for a host of home players to start their dance in unison along the visitors’ last line of defence.

But they get it horribly wrong. and before Bayindir even claims the cross, the offside flag is up once again.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

29. Lisandro Martinez started the scoring last Sunday, and this weekend…

…he’s the first in the book.

The defender is cautioned for clattering Gabriel Jesus as the pair wrestled for the ball.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

27. A teasing Timber cross is headed behind for the game’s first corner, and that brings the home fans into the game.

Arsenal have built their game on such set-piece situations this season, while Manchester United have been unable to defend them for months.

The visitors do the job here though, and smuggle the ball away to safety from a packed penalty area.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

25. The Harry Maguire of old!

The centre-back steps in to win the ball on halfway, and then takes the opportunity to surge forward.

Weaving beyond two opponents, he feeds Hojlund out on the left and continues his run into the box.

He needn’t have bothered though. The attempted return from the striker was useless, and cut out by the first man.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

23. A rare spell of possession in forward areas has United asking questions for the first time.

After Fernandes makes room, Mainoo takes charge and hits a daisycutter straight at Raya from 25 yards out.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

20. Arsenal try to pick out the run of Martinelli again, this time with Odegaard flicking the ball over the top.

Better late than never, De Ligt comes round to recover the situation.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

18. Gabriel Martinelli finds the back of the net!

But – after a couple of seconds to consider what he has seen – the linesman on the near side raises his flag.

Mikel Arteta and his players are not happy with the decision, insisting that Gabriel Jesus’ through ball unintentionally flicked off Harry Maguire and into Martinelli’s path.

But there’s no doubting that the pass was intended for the Brazilian, and so the second phase of play doesn’t come into effect after the defender’s accidental involvement.

Either way, it’s a lovely finish from the Arsenal number 11.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

15. A quarter of an hour in, and Arsenal have been the dominant side without really testing Altay Bayindir in the United goal.

It’s 70% possession and counting for Mikel Arteta’s hosts.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

13. There’s been little to report at the Emirates, but there’s a shock on the cards at St James’ Park where League Two Bromley have taken an early lead against Newcastle.

The Toon are on a seven-match winning run.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

11. Garnacho leaves Gabriel in a heap after sliding across the turf.

It’s one that looks worse – and sounds worse given the defender’s yelp – but in truth it was just the wet surface that took the United forward into his opponent.

Referee Madley rightly keeps his cards in his pocket.
